September: Worst Month for Immigration
The Canary Islands have just closed another, record-breaking worst month for immigration, with 7,535 arriving during the month of September - 6,159 of those to the province of Tenerife - and a total of 27,071 in the first nine months of the year.
We know these islands can only deal with so much, but these numbers do still pale into insignificance when placed beside the numbers who enter Europe by other means and, I can't help wondering where we would be today if poor old Homo erectus had met with such resistance to migration around 1.8-1.7 million years ago.
